I'm typing up this post in a hurry because I realized NaNoWriMo starts in seven hours (from my time zone), and I haven't said ANYTHING about it on my blog yet! Usually I have some writing tips I compile beforehand, but for some reason, that task escaped me this month, so we're just now getting … Continue reading Here we go again! (nanowrimo time!!!)
Write from your heart
When Truth Offends
I'm not talking about words or characters today. Not even Tolkien. And maybe you're wondering why I'm taking a break from the usual. It's because this is important right now.

“What Should I Write?”
It's the age-old question, isn't it? Even the most seasoned authors ask it. You know you're itching to write something, anything, but you just don't know what. Maybe your mind is completely blank.

Once upon a time, there lived an author, who, more than anything, lived his life in dedication to the noble art of storytelling. One day, he began a new project. He was quite used to the routine, for he had begun many stories in his lifetime. But this time it was different. This time, he … Continue reading The Stories of Our Hearts
